1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, XF40Two Leaves, B-4, BB-14

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves XF40 NGC. B-4, BB-14, R.3.
Caramel-gold and ice-blue toning enrich this better variety Flowing
Hair dollar. Marks are surprisingly few and inconsequential. The
high points display moderate wear, but ample plumage detail is
present, and luster peers from the legends, stars, and wreath. A
minor edge imperfection, as made, is at 6 o'clock on the obverse
and opposite at 12:30 on the reverse. A majority of the type is
either B-5 or B-1, yet B-4 can often be acquired at only a modest
premium. It is regarded as one of the first silver dollar die
varieties coined in 1795, since it exhibits the Head of 1794
subtype, is known with a silver plug, and an example is known
struck over a 1794 dollar.(Registry
